Description
From the famous farm of Panama, Hacienda La Esmeralda, comes an awesome classic washed coffee from their Cañas Verdes farm, Reserva de Cabaña. This particular lot was grown up at 1700m in the unique growing conditions on the southern slope of Volcan Baru. There is a good balance of consistent rainfall, and sun exposure at this point of the farm, which leads to exceptional growing conditions, meaning more flavour development and ripeness of cherries. This lot has been processed in a classical washed way, with 2 twists. The first is that after ripe cherries are picked, it's been depulped and fermented in cold water - this is where the F in the lot name comes from - for Frio (cold in spanish). After this cold water fermentation, the lot is dried in a special, newly built dark room. This dark room is temperature and humidity controlled, which means a slower, more stable drying for this lot, which is where the C stands for - controlled drying. Overall this lot is incredibly clean and elegant. Think very floral like Jasmine and Orange Blossom; very tea like, like a high quality black tea; with sweet fruit notes like Peach and Lemonade. This coffee also needs several weeks to open up - so let it rest longer than usual for degassing.
